Former Celtic manager Ronny Deila is set to join Norwegian top-tier outfit Valerenga, according to a report.

This comes just two months after the 40-year-old was sacked by Celtic, with the Scottish club replacing him with Brendan Rodgers.

Norwegian publication VG claims that Deila will join Valerenga in Oslo, where he will be joined by former Stromsgodset manager Erik Espeseth.

Deila is in line for a swift return to management after admitting that he was out of his depth at Celtic, even though he won consecutive league titles during his two-year reign.

It is currently halfway through the Norway season, with the top-tier Tippeligaen running between April and November.

Valerenga are one of the larger clubs in Norway, but have had a poor season so far, and are currently in the relegation zone, one place off bottom. With half the season remaining there is plenty of time left to improve things.
